Structured cost analysis: Builds a Total Cost of Ownership view including year-one costs, multi-year impact, and exit costs like migration and termination fees.
Risk assessment: Evaluates financial stability, security and compliance posture, concentration risk, contract lock-in, and business continuity factors.
Side-by-side comparison: Produces a comparison matrix and an actionable recommendation when evaluating two vendors or renewal versus replacement.

Quick Start

Use /vendor-review with the vendor name and paste the proposal or contract details so the output includes cost, risk, performance/fit factors, and a recommendation with negotiation points.
